MM FBI) Subject: RE: RE: --- UNCLASSIFIED Classification: UNCLASSIFIED That's fine if we'll have time to review before release. We only have a couple of other directions to follow up on and it is related to developing a separate subject involved with Epstein. By the time the FOIA processing is completed we should have those outstanding leads resolved. Thanks.

In the event the file is processed it would still be available for division review (Miami, Tampa, or both) of RMD's proposed redactions before any release was made.

If you could provide that (such as: it would discourage witnesses, hamper the gathering of leads, endanger informants, etc.) that would be great. Otherwise please let me know who I can contact in Tampa who might be able to help. Thanks, From Sent: Tuesda March To: Cc: Subject: RE: RE (MM) (FBI) 19 2013 3:35 PM (RMD)(FBI) . MM FBI) - UNCLASSIFIED Classification: UNCLASSIFIED EFTA01660190 Associate Deputy Attorney General David Margolis approved the office wide recusal of the United States Attorney's Office (USAO) for the Southern District of Florida from the investigation and assigned the matter to the USAO for the Middle District of Florida. Investigation is ongoing. Jason From: Sent: Monday, March 11, 2013 2:52 PM To: Subject: RE: UNCI AcSIFIED Classification: UNCLASSIFIED This is in regards to Jeffrey Epstein, a main subject of the file above. Mr. Epstein has made three Freedom of Information Act requests for his FBI file since 2010 and has appealed our latest denial in December 2012 to DoJ's Office of Information Policy. As such I am required to verify that the case remains pending. For RMD to be able to deny processing the file there must be potential prosecutive action remaining, such as continuing appeals, rather than simply remaining pending awaiting destruction of evidence.
